So that you are over-prepared for any scenario and won’t be caught off guard.

Question 8

Why is tough love necessary?

Answer 8

Pain is the greatest teacher, and there are no real-world consequences of tough love in the program – you are in the Matrix! Accept slaps in the face here so you don’t have to get them in the real world!

Question 9

Why practice until you can’t get it wrong?

Answer 9

-Because the things we are learning need to become our lowest default and be baked into our cellular anatomy to the point that we do the right thing impulsively and intuitively.

-Because it is only in this way that we can replicate success while improvising in all the right ways without any effort.

Question 10

What is Systems-Based thinking?

Answer 10

-When thinking in this way we investigate a given scenario or topic in all its complexity using deliberate and focused thinking.

-Dig into the core foundational causes of problems, looking at root causes rather than obvious surface issues

Question 11

What is Principles-Based thinking?

Answer 11

-When you look at and consider the underlying foundational principles and fundamental truths

-Knowing how to be creative when problem-solving by looking at the principles, being able to break them down and reimagine them from the ground up.

-Being a curious investigator who questions the status quo and considers alternatives because you understand that systems work based on sets of principles, rather than accepting the common ‘average’ reality as the ‘only’ reality

Question 12

A customer at a restaurant is allergic to mushrooms. The chef switches out the mushrooms for tomatoes to achieve a similar umami flavour because he knows they both contain glutamate. What is this an example of?

Answer 12

Principles-Based Thinking

Question 13

What are some benefits of systems-and-principles-based thinking?

Answer 13

-By understanding the foundational components of a given topic or problem, you are able to improvise and adapt

-You are able to act confidently because you are making your decisions based on principles and systems, on truths instead of opinions, on root causes instead of symptoms

-Leads to better decisions because they are based on foundational truths instead of average opinions

-Allows you to be self-sustainable because you can make decisions from your own knowledge and understanding

Question 14

What is Balanced Self-Sustainability?

Answer 14

-Forcing yourself to be self-sufficient and relying on the tools of the program to come up with your own diagnosis and treatment

-Pretending that G is dead and you will need to know everything masterfully on your own!

Question 15

What are the 5 types of Victim Mindsets encountered in the program?

Answer 15

1. Blaming the Program
2. Equal Blame Illusion
3. Unique Circumstances Illusion
4. Perfect Product Illusion
5. The “hope” Illusion

Question 16

Why do Victims never win?

Answer 16

1. Makes you stop seeking answers because you blame your problems on things that are outside of your control.
2. Leads to wrong answers because you assume the solutions are also outside of your control. You don’t take responsibility and take no action.
3. VM makes you defensive and perpetuates the blame game.
4. It makes you admit that you are powerless becauseyou believe that nothing is within your control.
5. It infiltrates your mind subconsciously and is insidiously hard to identify

Question 17

What is the Reward & Punishment Paradox?

Answer 17

The brain will always want to seek immediate reward and avoid punishment, but this is the exact opposite of how good habits are formed.

Any bad habit hasshort term reward and long term punishment.

Any good habit has short term punishment and long term reward.

Question 18

Compare and contrast the Victim Mindset vs the Hero Mindset

Answer 18

-For every victim interpretation there is always a hero’s mindset interpretation

-Victims fail BECAUSE of circumstances, while heroes thrive and succeed DESPITE the circumstances

-Victims find a million reasons to fail and feel disempowered and demotivated. Blaming exterior circumstances empowers them to give up.

-Heroes find a millions reasons to SUCCEED and are empowered and motivate DESITE the million reasons why it might not work.

Question 19

How do the concepts of Fault and Responsibility apply to the Hero?

Answer 19

A hero does not care whose fault it is, they simply take 100% responsibility for the issues they face and take action to solve the problems.

Question 20

What is the difference between a Principle and a Process?

Answer 20

Principle = HOW you do it
Process = WHAT you do

Question 21

What is the Process of Success (POS), and what are its 3 components?

Answer 21

POS is the process of iteration to constantly grow and improve your knowledge and processes.

Hypothesis: The current understanding of principles and processes for a given thing

Antithesis: You encounter a challenge or recognize that there’s room for improvement/optimization

Synthesis: In response to your Antithesis, you use the resources at your disposal to seek out knowledge and integrate it to get a better or more efficient outcome.

The Synthesis then becomes the next iteration of your Hypothesis.

Question 22

In simple terms, WHAT are you iterating in this program?

Answer 22

1. Understandings of principles
2. Quality of processes

Question 23

What are some examples of Balanced Action (both Necessary & Sufficient & Necessary and Insufficient)?

Answer 23

Necessary and Sufficient:
-Doing DPPs
-Executing the process

Necessary and Insufficient:
-Engaging with the program videos
-Updating Mental Map
-Following POS to iterate and improve
-Engaging with community

Question 24

What are TBUs, and why are they irrelevant?

Answer 24

‘True but Useless’

These are things related to the circumstances that have NO EFFECT on the work that must be done.

Examples include:
-The fact that your A1 is in a new relationship
-The fact that your A1 moved to another country
-The fact that you are in no contact
-etc.

They are irrelevant because the WORK STAYS THE SAME NO MATTER WHAT!

Master the 4 buckets –> Master the 3 layers of change –> Climb the 5 Pillars

While engaging with POS, becoming a performer, and ultimately becoming irreplaceable

Question 25

What are the 2 criteria for moving on to the next module?

Answer 25

1. You have deeply understood the principles and processes in the current module.
2. You have enough of an understanding of the principles, processes, and POS to iterate and improve on your own

Question 26

What are some examples of Passive Motion?

Answer 26

-Thinking about it but not DOING it

-Ruminating about the outcome

-Being afraid of action and afraid of getting out of your comfort zone

Question 27

What is Active Motion and what are some examples?

Answer 27

-Feels like you’re taking action but they’re not the right actions

-Rushing the program - illusion of progress but not absorbing the material

-Wasting time pondering TBUs

-Doing DPPs un-deliberately, just going through the motions but no being deeply engaged

Question 28

How do you fight Passive Motion?

Answer 28

Remind yourself:

-You cannot solve your problems using the same mindset and knowledge that you hear in the first place. If you want a different outcome and if you want to grow, do the work!

-You grow more through failures than successes. Fail fast, fail early, and fail often!

-You will never grow if you don’t get out of your comfort zone!

-Just DO IT!

Question 29

How do you fight Active Motion?

Answer 29

Remind yourself, you are in active motion if you are:

-Mindlessly rushing through the program

-Overthinking and focusing on principles and processes you haven’t learned yet

-Overthinking and focusing on principles and processes outside the program

-Working on too many things at once, spreading yourself thin, and overwhelming yourself

-Focusing on TBUs

-You will likely have to start over if you’re not integrating the knowledge from the modules

Question 30

How do you take Balanced Action?

Answer 30

-Focus on one module, one principle, one process, one lesson, one thing at a time

-Ensure you understand everything in the module before moving on to the next one

-Take ACTION through practice/executions, and antithetically find issues in DPPs and principles (AKA find ANTIs)

-Formulate clear questions and use the resources to get the best help (AKA find Synth)

-Repeat the process for future principles/processes for methodical iteration (POS)
